The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.Time passed.More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

Love will tear us apart

Nine
asylum-seekers, including four children, barely made it across the
Canadian border on Friday as a U.S. border patrol officer tried to stop
them and a Reuters photographer captured the scene.As
a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer seized their passports and
questioned a man in the front passenger seat of a taxi that had pulled
up to the border in Champlain, New York, four adults and four young
children fled the cab and ran to Royal Canadian Mounted Police on the
other side. One by one they
scrambled across the snowy gully separating the two countries. RCMP
officers watching from the other side helped them up, lifting the
younger children and asking a woman, who leaned on her fellow passenger
as she walked, if she needed medical care.
